If you want your business to grow, you need to show up where people nearby are looking – online and in local search results. Not buried on page three behind competitors from Seattle or Portland. You need to appear when someone searches “near me” and is ready to call, visit, or compare options.

That is the focus of our local marketing work. We help your business show up so people in and around Vancouver can find you quickly, without scrolling through pages of companies that are not even located here.

A lot of that starts with your Google Business Profile. We make sure your information is accurate and current because outdated hours or a wrong phone number can cost you customers fast. Then we optimize your profile with the search terms people in Vancouver actually use. It is not just filling in fields – it is making your profile work harder for your business.

We also improve your website’s local SEO. That includes researching location-based keywords that matter in the Esther Short area, tracking how your business appears in search, and working to bring in traffic that turns into real leads. The goal is simple: more calls, more form submissions, and more local customers.

Whether you want new customers or a stronger local reputation, we build strategies you can measure. No vague promises – just clear work tied to real results like phone calls, leads, and foot traffic.

Google reviews make up 15% of your local search ranking. Moz confirmed this. If you’re not in the top three local results, you’re invisible. 99% of people read reviews before buying. They spend 13 minutes reading 6 to 10 reviews to decide if they trust you.

We had an attorney client near Vancouver Citry Hall and his phone stopped ringing. One eight-month-old negative review at the top of their Google profile. No response. Their competitor with worse ratings was getting calls because they responded within 24 hours.

Getting reviews needs a system. Ask right after a good experience. Make it easy with a direct link. Do it consistently. Negative reviews will happen. Sterling Sky research found businesses with some negatives often beat perfect ratings. Nobody trusts perfect.

89% of consumers read your responses to reviews. They’re checking if you actually care. We build review systems, respond professionally to negatives, and track what impacts your visibility.

Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing people see when they search for a business like yours. We make sure it is complete and useful, with current services, the right phone number, and a business description that clearly explains what you do. Many businesses set it up once, leave it alone, and then wonder why calls slow down.

Social media usually follows the same pattern. Posting only when you remember does not produce steady results. We worked with a landscaping client in Vancouver who was posting only a couple of times a month, mostly random before-and-after photos with little context and no clear plan. We changed that to four posts each week with project updates, customer shout-outs, and seasonal tips.

Engagement increased by 60% in six weeks. More importantly, phone inquiries doubled. We manage Instagram, X, and Facebook, create posts, respond to comments and messages, and share reviews from happy customers. The goal is not just visibility – it is staying in front of people when they are ready to buy. Consistency wins over perfection.

Question: Can local SEO target a specific neighborhood like Esther Short?

• Answer:Yes – when we set up your Google listing, we don’t just put “Vancouver WA.” We actually specify Esther Short as your service area. Why bother? Well, say someone’s walking around Esther Short and pulls out their phone to find a place nearby. If your listing says Esther Short, you pop up first. If it just says Vancouver, you’re competing with every business in the whole city. Big difference. Coffee shop down on Main did this last summer. Started getting way more walk-ins from the neighborhood instead of people driving in from Hazel Dell or wherever.

Question: Do online reviews actually affect where I show up in Google?

• Answer: Definitely, yes. So Google’s looking at a few things. How many reviews do you have total? When’s the last time someone left one? Do you ever write back to people who review you? All that stuff matters. Here’s the thing though – reviews from like 2019 don’t really move the needle anymore. You need fresh ones. Dentist over on Fourth Plain had maybe 10 reviews, all pretty old. Started asking patients after cleanings if they’d mind leaving one. Got 20 more in a couple months. Boom – went from nowhere to showing up in the top three when you search for dentists in Vancouver. Didn’t change anything else.

Question: What’s the difference between website SEO and Google Business Profile optimization?

• Answer: Alright so you know when you Google something and there’s that little map at the top with three businesses? That’s not your website showing up there. That’s your Google Business Profile. Totally separate from your actual website. The regular search results underneath – those blue links – that’s where your website shows up. Two different beasts. A local HVAC company, hsd a great website and ranking pretty well. But he couldn’t figure out why his phone wasn’t ringing. Turns out his Business Profile had the wrong number. It still listed his old cell from before he got the business line. We fixed it in 10 minutes and started getting calls that same week.
